“Although most of us will never see a Wolverine, the knowledge that it maintains a hold in remote forests may reassure us that expanses of wilderness still exist.”
from Mammals of Ontario by Tamara Eder
(2002 Lone Pine Publishing)
My Sunday sentence comes from one of many vibrant sentences read aloud on Saturday night. Four longtime friends gathered at a cottage by a lake, comfortably tired after a sunny day of swimming, dogwalking, birdwatching and more, comfortably full after a delicious and lovingly prepared meal, to read aloud to each other. The reading selections came from a charmingly eclectic range of sources:
- The Noise of Time by Julian Barnes (2016 Knopf)
- The Dog and I by Roy MacGregor (2007 Penguin Canada)
- The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews (2009 Vintage Canada)
- Mammals of Ontario by Tamara Eder (2002 Lone Pine Publishing)
- The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie (1988 Viking Press)
- History’s People by Margaret MacMillan (2015 House of Anansi Press)
Such a wonderful way to knit together a special weekend spent with beloved friends …
